Coach Ben Howland's Bulldogs have won five SEC games in a row, including an 86-73 victory over Tennessee on Saturday in which they shot 69% in the second half while scoring 58 points.
A one-point road loss at Oklahoma in the Big 12/SEC Challenge on Jan. 25 is Mississippi State's only blemish since falling 60-59 at LSU on Jan. 11.
